the luceti test drive meme

Reserves have just opened and apps are right around the corner. But are you still on the fence about any of your would-be characters? Well -- here is your chance to take them out for a spin!

▣ TAG IN or reply to others with characters you would like to test drive for Luceti.
▣ ONLY add top-level comments for characters who are not yet in the game. You're free to reply to others with Luceti characters (because that's half the fun) but remember that the whole point of this meme is for potential characters.
▣ PLEASE do not post duplicates of characters already in Luceti.
▣ GO AHEAD and give us a brief description of your character in the top-level comment, along with one or two possible ways to run into your test-driven character around town.
▣ YOU MAY use these threads for your first person samples on your app -- just make sure that you link threads of a goodly length (i.e., threads with at least ten comments from your character).

Need a little help getting started? Remember, you needn't post here as though your character is still brand-spankin' new. It'll probably be more fun for all involved if this isn't a simple dress rehearsal for showing up. Here are a few scenario ideas:

o1. The grocery store is out of food. What do you do?
o2. Wing injury! Call for help or stagger your way to one of our fine clinics.
o3. It's a busy evening at Good Spirits, one of Luceti's local bars. Do you dare try the drink specials?
o4. Have a talent for playing music? Try Cloud Nine's open mic night!
o5. Beach party? Snow party? Leaf-raking party? Gardening party? YOU DECIDE.

Okay. So my examples are pretty non-exciting. But they're really just suggestions. I'm POSITIVE you kids can come up with more creative things.

Above all? HAVE FUN. Oh. And don't forget to RESERVE your characters.

I'm feeling that lately. [He just wonders how big of wings a city would need to even fly. Or would it just have a lot of balloons?] So are your feathers new?

[tearmeanewone]

[No big balloons here, Flynn.] Are my...? Oh! I'm new, yes. I'm Elizabeth. [She closes her journal, given the subject of squirrels seems to have passed.] And you are...?

[smouldered]

Flynn. Flynn Rider. How you doing? [She seems like a nice kid and there's never not a time for a little smoulder.]

[tearmeanewone]

[Well... that's a funny look no one's given her before. Some things you don't learn about in books your daddy gives you.] Fine, thank you Mr. Rider... Are your feathers new too?

[Maybe the effects of the displacement hadn't worn off yet...]

[smouldered]

A little old now, really. I've gotten used to them.

[He gives them an experienced flap to prove it. Something that doesn't come so easy to the recently arrived.]

[tearmeanewone]

[Elizabeth looks absolutely thrilled by this. She hasn't managed the coordination to get her wings to flap, but given everything else to explore her wings were sort of secondary on her short to-do list (1. See everything; 2. figure out what's going on).]

That's amazing Mr. Rider! How did you do it?

[smouldered]

Lots and lots of practice of trying to slip my wings through the new holes in my shirt. It's exactly as hard as it looks.

[tearmeanewone]

Wow... Wait, wait! [Elizabeth opens her sketchbook again and scurries behind Flynn, charcoal at the ready.] Okay, show me one more time. It's hard to see mine in my mirror.

[smouldered]

[Well, that deflates him a bit and he looks over his shoulder to see what the hell she is even doing.]

Wait, wait. You want to draw my wings?

[tearmeanewone]

Yeah! [Elizabeth clearly doesn't see what the problem is, she's already starting to draw simple arcs to indicate the curve of the wings.]

I mean, you're the first person I've met who can move them. I've wondered how they move, they aren't like any bird wings I've seen before.
